Design Document of Backtrader And Extending it for multiple marketplaces (India)

[sahil]

Hello All,

I was going through documentation of backtrader. I am having hard time understanding how data flows between different components(strategy, cerebro etc.) of backtrader. Is there any design document or data flow diagram available for backtrader?

Can it be used(extended) for creating an live engine(trading for India marketplace). I am a software developer and ready to contribute to extend capabilities of backtrader.

Also, is it possible to use it for trading strategies involving multiple assets, ML algorithms?

Thanks,
Sahil

You need to create your own Broker and data feeds. Some people have done it.

Yes. It's built-in.

ML algorithms?

That's up to you, not to backtrader. See https://github.com/Kismuz/btgym
